David McBride has had a love for drawing since early childhood. While he specializes in works using graphite and colored pencil, he commonly tries new techniques and from time to time works a little water color and pen and ink into the mix. He most enjoys drawing portraits and medieval themed projects.
“I’ve always loved to draw and colored pencil seems to be the most versatile form of media for me. The fact that you can create a photo realistic likeness is incredible. I am hooked! It’s a wonderful feeling that after you have put so much time and energy into a project, you can stand back and enjoy the results.”
David is a member of the Mid-Del Art Guild in Midwest City, OK. Also he is a member of The National Colored Pencil Society of America and with its local chapter in Tulsa, OK.. Born in Norman, Oklahoma, U.S.A. on October 9th, 1964, David has lived in Oklahoma all of his life. He graduated from Harrah High School in 1982 and has completed his first year at Rose State Junior College for an Associates Degree in Computer Information Systems. He currently lives on five acres in the country side and enjoys the fresh air and country inspirations for his artwork.
David's hobbies include medieval re-enactment, woodworking, restoring his 1974 Dodge Charger, playing computer games, History and SciFi Channels, creating chain mail armor, and watching O.U. Football. His favorite TV show is Stargate SG-1.
